and initial 2" of embedded areas only.
1. Do not paint surfaces that are to be welded or high-strength bolted with friction-type
connections.
2. Apply two coats of paint to surfaces that are inaccessible after assembly or erection.
Change color of second coat to distinguish it from the first.
B. Surface Preparation: After inspection, and before shipping, clean steelwork to be painted.

edges, and exposed surfaces.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 INSPECTION
A. Erector must examine existing foundations and areas and conditions under which structural
steel work is to be installed, and notify Contractor of conditions detrimental to proper and
timely completion of work. Do not proceed with work until unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected in a manner acceptable to erector. Written verification of all structural connections
is to be provided.
3.02 ERECTION
A. Surveys: Employ a licensed land surveyor, for accurate erection of structural steel. Check
elevations of concrete and masonry bearing surfaces, and locations of anchor bolts and
similar devices, before erection work proceeds, and report discrepancies to the Architect. Do
not proceed with erection until corrections have been made, or until compensating
adjustments to structural steel work have been approved by the Architect and Structural
Engineer.
B. Temporary Shoring and Bracing: Provide temporary shoring and bracing members with
connections of sufficient strength to bear imposed loads. Remove temporary members and
connections when permanent members are in place and final connections are made. Provide
temporary guy lines to achieve proper alignment of structures as erection proceeds.
C. Temporary Planking: Provide temporary planking an working platforms as necessary to
effectively complete work.
D. Anchor Bolts: Provide additional anchor bolts where required, and other connectors required
for securing structural steel to foundations and to other in-place work.
